If anyone has ANY feedback at all, please let me know...

I just started the patch a week ago, and at first had nausea, then breast tenderness, then crazy-high libido until I changed to my second patch yesterday. Now, today is the first day on my second patch and I'm sluggish, weak, run-down, and moody. Is all of this supposed to happen? When I was on the pill I got none of this. What's going on?

It could be the "new hormones" with the patch that are giving you those problems....

I agree with Mrs. Frazier. It's probably your body reacting to the new hormones from the patch. We have had posts from other patch using members that they experienced pronounced side effects when beginning the patch. It can take 2 or 3 cycles for your body to become adjusted. I hope you are feeling better soon. If things get too severe you can always bail but I hope you can stick with it to see if the patch will work for you. Let us know how you're doing, ok?

Hugs,
